This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharp, sculpted terminals and wedge-like, flared stroke endings that give stems a gently carved feel. Serifs are bracketed and taper into pointed tips, while bowls and shoulders show smooth, calligraphic modulation rather than mechanical construction. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly wide-set, with clean diagonals and crisp joins; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with open apertures and compact, tidy curves. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper, producing a consistent, polished rhythm in text.
It is well suited to headlines, book and article titling, and magazine-style layouts where high contrast and refined serifs can carry a premium tone. It also works for branding and pull quotes that need a classic, editorial voice, especially in larger sizes where the tapered details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and literary, with an editorial polish that feels classic without looking overly ornamental. The sharp finishing details add a sense of precision and seriousness, making the face read as confident and authoritative on the page.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with subtly expressive, flared stroke endings, creating a distinctive editorial texture that remains disciplined and readable. Its consistent contrast and crisp terminals suggest a focus on elegant display and confident typographic hierarchy.
In the sample text, the contrast and pointed terminals stay clear at display sizes, and the spacing reads even and composed. The flared ends and fine hairlines create a lively texture, so it benefits from comfortable sizes and adequate line spacing when used for longer passages.
